JFV 12/I - Additions and Corrections

[Jochen Prien]

Gentlemen,

it has become some sort of habit that whenever I get my copy of a new volume, the first thing I see is a typo. Typos however are annoying but not outright mistakes.

Through some so far undetected glitch, in Vol. 12/I there are two flaws in the tables on pages 20 and 29 which I cannot explain at all as in my final manuscript version they were correct. (No blame nor offense meant towards Rogge at all !)

On page 20 the Kommodores of JG 3 were of course Obstlt. Wolf-Dietrich Wilcke and of JG 52 Maj. Dietrich Hrabak. The corresponding changes from Lützow to Wilcke and from Ihlefeld / Gollob to Hrabak have already been dealt with correctly in JFV 9/II.

In the table on page 29 the 4.(Jabo)/JG 54 has been omitted so that their clems and losses are not included in the overall totals. We will update and correct the table in JFV 12/III.

Regards

Jochen Prien

Dear Herr Prien

I miss the habitual Einsatzplätze list in the chapter dedicated to III/JG5. I suppose this is a typo as well.
Thanks a lot for your fantastic work and let's hope to have JFV/II asap.

Best regards

I missed this thread and posted on another the following but never have another.
Page 85
05.07.1943 4./JG 3 uffz Eduard Bartsch Pe-2 (2) 12.52 PlQu. 35 Ost/61622, 5 km noedlich Tomarowka (Should be 61322 the other is to far away from that location).

page 85
Has 5./JG 3 Oblt Joachim Kirschner Il-2 (150) 03.40 and Jak 1 (151) 03.41 but just below is 5./JG 3 Oblt Joachim Kirschner Il-2 (38) 03.44 PlQu. 35 Ost/60142, nordoestlich Charkow. Is this another Joachim Kirschner in 5./JG3 or is this a misprint with another name suppose to be in this spot?
